Solus wedges (7.1 Tour Model)

I have been noticing these in the pro shop, and finally got to try them out. I love the way they look, I play blades and I prefer a small clubhead with a thin top line and sloped sole. I also love the gunmetal-black look of these wedges. So anyhow, I was able to take them out and hit with them today. Wow. These wedges are fantastic, the feel is unbelievable, and you can really generate some serious spin with them. The faces are milled, just like the Vokeys I currently play, but the head is smaller. I absolutely love these wedges. I pulled the string on the ball almost every time, and was even able to open the clubface and spin several shots sideways on the green, which I was rarely able to do with my Vokeys. These are definelty going in my bag, now I just have to decide whether to buy them myself or drop them as a gift hint to the wife....as a gift from my mother-in-law is another candidate

got my solus wedge set a little more than a year ago, and never looked back. Next to the putter, the wedges are the most used club in the bag and these are worth every penny ($330) i paid for the 3 club set. The face of my 61* lob wedge is slightly rusted now though as i use it for all shots inside 85yds.

Is it true that they only come in steel? I don't play steel in anything but putters anymore.

Yep... I have them as well. Not a household name and that probably is why more people don't play them... Have you hit them out of a bunker yet? Very good there as well...

I have their older 61° not the new simply because I don't hit it well enough, often enough... And I have a hard time yanking another club to have four wedges in the bag!

Is there a big difference between the old 4.1 model and the new 7.1 as far as playability etc (not just looks). There seems to be a huge price difference (double for the newer ones)

Not really. At least if you look at their specs. The 4's might have a bit of difference due to the cavity, but on paper, they are the same.

The difference is just that. The 4.1's are a perimeter weighted cavity back, while the 7.1's are a blade style. The difference in feel, forgiveness, and workability is accually quite high.
